Business Name?

What is a business name and what does it mean to me?  These are all things I had to think about when trying to determine how I wanted to name my business.  Well, when I asked people what they thought about my business name I had a few different comments.  Some saying to just use my name and the word Photography and others telling me to use whatever name I wanted to use.

I can see the point of people thinking I should just use Linda Grant Photography, but for me, I'm just putting myself out there as another "normal" photographer.  I didn't want my business name to be just like any other ordinary Photography business name, I wanted a little bit more.  

I sat down and thought a lot about what to name my business and kept coming back to the word "Memories".  For some reason, it just kept coming back to me.. maybe because photography is all about creating memories for people.  But, for some reason, I couldn't find the right word to go along with Memories.  So... I decided on Memories by Linda Grant Photography!  I know many people probably think the name is too long, but we will shorten it for the web and email to Memories by Linda.  And so the name of my new baby has been picked!

Stay tuned, I plan on starting a logo creation in the very near future.
